Reviving an ancient beading tradition in Southern Africa, this resource showcases the funky, innovative, and visually stunning bead art created by the woman of MonkeyBiz, a uniquely successful grassroots project that gives employment to poor women and provides them with skills training and HIV/AIDS support. The project now employs 450 disadvantaged women from around Cape Town, and serves as a model for non-governmental organizations and individuals who wish to harness creativity to create employment and empowerment.
